I recently returned from the O’Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland Oregon. In the final talk of the event, Paul Fenwick, always an amazing presenter, offered a puzzle during his talk that I thought I’d share. I will offer the puz...
A friend posed this to me today: Devise an alternate set of denominations for coins and bank notes requiring a minimum number of denominations and such that any amount from $0.01 to $100 could be paid with four units of currency. I’ve looked...

Farewell Tom Rodgers, founder, visionary and force behind the Gathering For Gardner. He has added a lot to the world and his legacy will go on and spread. In that spirit, we all hope you’ll join in the Celebration of Mind, maybe hosting...
Some people say that Lego is just for kids. I have to disagree. Even though my youngest has a sizeable collection, I have always enjoyed re-building some of his sets. When he was about ten, he threw all of his Lego into one giant plastic tub, Star...
In the busyness that makes up a school day, it can be easy for me to forget things that the rest of the world are noticing and acknowledging. It happened today for me with International Women's Day - but I did get reminded by a couple of students....
If you want to be patted on the back for being a groovy, totally plugged in 21st Century educator, don't bother going to read Dean Groom's blog. But you value some authentic alternative views and some clever metaphorical language twisting like I d...
Ernie Smith on blogging: Perhaps the world has moved past the idea of merely having a webpage that’s your own, and nobody else’s. Perhaps we’re expected to do everything, instead, on social media or in someone else’s walled...
Suzanne Cridge from SVA pointed to a 2015 post of Jennifer Orr's today on Twitter that awoke my brain from its holiday-induced inertia. And as I felt uncomfortable with the wording of her blog post title (but not its content or message) I have dec...
The blogs and podcasts I chose to follow were selected based on my need to be on top of current trends in educationand available resources. I look forward to having another avenue for supporting teachers and other collegues. I also subscribed to technology in education feeds to allow me to explore and share the latest material on teaching with technology to better prepare students for our world today. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to find and share articles and podcasts with my staff through our PLC work.
The RSS in Education article helped to outline the main characteristics of RSS and the convenince of it to nonexperts. I identified with the line that read, "Syndication transforms the 'lonely voice' of the web page into an international dialogue of onging professional discourse". This helps me to better understand the significance behind RSS feeds in education. I'm looking forward to establishing a news reader of edicational insights as well as my leisure time material.
I love the way the 2nd article, There's Something in the Air", began with a scene set up. Jenny checking her podcast subscription in the morning and viewing classroom material and her entertainment material in the same medium, and how natural this was to her. It makes RSS feeds seem so simplistic and such an easy and essential way to communicate and develop better understanding. The professor who's podcast Jenny follows that prompted her to take his course, and then relay the significance of the material to her parents, who then began following his podcasts, is such a magnificent example of open source learning.
Ther final article - the how to - of RSS feeds is not only proven to be helpful in establishing my first RSS feed, but a great reference. I plan to use this article to work with teachers in my building interested in exploring this type of shared learning. My hope is that some teachers will enjoy visiting my PLN wiki and want to explore resources further.
